This fund is structured to deliver consistent income payouts, while also aiming for its investment value to increase over time.
Is GPIQ's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.

GPIQ replicates the Nasdaq-100 while selling covered calls on 25%-75% of QQQ exposure. The strategy aims to generate monthly income while retaining most of the market's upside potential. Despite a yield above 10%, most distributions come from portfolio gains rather than dividends. The fund's low 0.29% expense ratio helps it compete effectively with peers. Since launch, GPIQ has delivered returns close to an 85% QQQ / 15% T-Bill portfolio, suggesting its active option strategy has added value without significantly sacrificing performance.
Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF offers a 10.4% yield with a 19.1% 1-year total return, leveraging a covered call strategy on QQQ. GPIQ currently covers 34.9% of assets with call options, positioning for upside participation while capturing income from volatility. The fund's structure allows for monthly tax-efficient distributions, with 96.8% of YTD payouts classified as return of capital.
